Abstract

The Granada statements were a result of the need to strengthen clinical, social, and administrative pharmacy practice as an area of knowledge that translates into practice, research, and policy. As a response, a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors launched an initiative in Granada in 2023, to discuss ways to improve the quality of publications in this area, which culminated in the Granada statements. Eighteen statements were developed, clustered into six main domains: (i) the appropriate use of terminology; (ii) developing impactful abstracts; (iii) having the required peer reviews; (iv) journal scattering; (v) more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics; and (vi) authors' selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work. The full Granada statements have been published in 14 journals.
